Re: konqueror with gecko
Hi!!
According to an old summerian prophecy,
hacker, Lord of hell-knows-what
on Friday 24 June 2005 09:16 pm would say this about
konqueror with gecko :
ha> I know I'm not alone when it comes to being disappointed with

Don't agree with you.
Konqueror as web browser is much better than Firefox.
It handles pop-ups much better than FF,
it captures "target=blank" links and puts it as new tabs
(something that FF doesn't do), it works with ACID2 css stuff,
It's much more compliant to the W3C standards than FF
(that's why some pages doesn't render well with Konqueror,
and it even warns when there are bugs with the page's HTML!!)
Only in very, very, rare cases (such as gmail) i use FF for browsing.
Bye.

ha> "Not many people use the gecko engine in Konqueror which is simply a
